The windows dry fit great and I have scribed and prepared the Acrylic and I will be using the Sikaflex 295i sealant for bonding and mechanically fastening the windows. They look great and I will get these in as soon as possible. After this I am planning on bonding in the forward Lewmar deck hatch. All of the hard points are in the deck. The next step will be re-building and detailing the main hatch. It's funny one task leads into the next and she is starting to look ship shape.
Jilann is working on re-finishing the teak and I'm excited to see how this turns out. I'm sure it will turn out beautiful because she is so attentive to detail.
I need to buy a new band saw blade and get ready for the creation of some new interior components. The forward deck part I built this summer took the teeth right off the blade in the form of sparks. I didn't think cured fiberglass was all that strong. The forward patch was pretty substantial but I do not want to have any issues when I bend the mast back in breeze. It is exciting to read other Ross 780 blogs and I appreciate the connections I have made down south in New Zealand.
